What Is Pyrolysis?

Sustainable Waste-to-Resource Solutions in Singapore.

Pyrolysis is an advanced thermal process that breaks down organic materials—such as horticulture waste, wood, plastics, and food scraps—at high temperatures in an oxygen-free environment. Unlike traditional incineration, pyrolysis produces minimal emissions and converts waste into valuable by-products like biochar, syngas, and bio-oil.

As a sustainable waste management solution, pyrolysis supports resource recovery and contributes to circular economy goals by turning waste into renewable resources. In Singapore, pyrolysis offers a scalable pathway for sustainable waste management by reducing landfill dependency and converting waste streams—such as horticultural and food waste—into valuable renewable resources.

Waste Reduction

Efficiently processes diverse waste streams including biomass and plastics

Energy Recovery

Converts waste into syngas and bio-oil, creating clean renewable energy

Carbon Sequestration

Biochar improves soil fertility while locking away carbon permanently

Why Pyrolysis Matters for Singapore’s Circular Economy

As Singapore advances toward a Zero Waste Nation, pyrolysis plays a pivotal role in transforming waste into renewable energy and materials. By diverting organic and plastic waste from incineration, pyrolysis reduces greenhouse gas emissions while generating usable outputs that support circular economy initiatives and carbon reduction targets.

At Gee Hoe Seng Pte Ltd, we combine over 30 years of waste-management experience with modern pyrolysis systems to deliver reliable, certified, and sustainable outcomes for industries and municipalities.

At Gee Hoe Seng, a leading biochar producer in Singapore, our process not only reduces carbon emissions but also supports sustainable waste management and circular economy goals, ensuring that waste is transformed into renewable resources.

Through our certified biochar production, we deliver solutions that contribute to carbon sequestration, soil improvement, and renewable energy generation—making us a trusted partner for industries seeking sustainable waste-to-resource solutions in Singapore.

Waste Collection

Organic waste materials are collected, sorted and prepared for pyrolysis.

Step 1

Thermal Decomposition

Using our pyrolysis system, the feedstock is heated in an oxygen-free environment.

Step 2

Resource Conversion

During the pyrolysis process, wastes are broken down and converted into valuable by-products.

Step 3

Resource Utilization

The by-products generated are collected and can be used in various applications.

Step 4

By-Products of Pyrolysis

At Gee Hoe Seng, our advanced pyrolysis technology converts biomass and waste into three valuable by-products: Biochar, Bio-Oil, and Syngas.
These by-products not only reduce environmental impact but also support circular economy goals by creating useful, low-emission alternatives to traditional fuels and soil enhancers.

1. Biochar

Biochar is a solid by-product ideal for enhancing soil health, improving water retention, and sequesters carbon permanently in the ground. It is widely used in agriculture, landscaping, and environmental remediation.

2. Pyrolysis Oil

Bio-oil is a dense energy source derived from organic feedstock. Industries can use pyrolysis oil as a renewable fuel alternative.

3. Syngas

Syngas, or synthetic gas, is a clean fuel composed mainly of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. It can be used to generate heat or electricity within the pyrolysis process itself, enhancing overall energy efficiency and reducing reliance on external fuel sources.

Together, these by-products demonstrate the scalability of pyrolysis as a sustainable, low-emission waste-to-resource solution for industries across Singapore and Southeast Asia, supporting the nation’s circular economy and carbon reduction goals.
